If you're like most people, when you entrust an organization such as ours with your money, you want it to be used wisely and you want it to make a lasting difference in the lives of people who need it most. We want the same. Not only that, but we want you to be confident that we appreciate and value you as an interested, and deeply-invested, partner in our mission.
When you give to the Mission, you will provide for short-term physical needs and long-term solutions for those in need. Your gifts help men, women, and children who have lost so much find a path to changed lives and a hopeful future.
